C-SPAN ^ | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

[kristinn]

As Congress continues to debate the authorization of use of force against the Assad regime, President Obama addresses the nation from the White House on the situation in Syria.

[tcrlaf]

I’ll bet the Psych profile the SVR has on Obama makes for some real interesting reading...

The American Analysts at the HQ in Yasenevo are likely having a tough time typing their speech reports, due to all the laughing.

[Windflier]

I don’t care what any of you say about my smoking - I’m 80 and I’ll smoke if I want to.

I'm 60. Think I'll join you on the porch for a smoke and a sip.

[Praxeologue]

moderate opposition forces in Syria, such as the Free Syrian Army

If McCain and Graham aren't insane, then they are on the take from the Saudis.

[Revolting cat!]

I’ll smoke if I want to

Go ahead, but remember that it'll kill you before you're old!

[Gator113]

Absolutely!

[UCANSEE2]

Thanks for posting a transcript.

I completely forgot he was on tonight! Not kidding... LOLS

[Windflier]

“But I’m also the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.”

Dumbazz leftist. The word, 'democracy' doesn't appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution.

[Seattle Conservative]

You go girl! Enjoy!

I’m joining you in a Scotch & water and a smoke.

Cheers!

OBOZO needed to watch a real President to learn how to respond to BENGHAZI...

[Broker]

Saudis own the gang of eight. McCain has dementia and they must have photos of Graham with the live boy or dead woman.

[Windflier]

If it could pass, he would let the vote take place in order to keep pressure on Assad to complete the deal.

By what authority does Obama postpone a vote in the Legislature?

[niteowl77]

If McCain and Graham aren't insane, then they are on the take from the Saudis.

McCain is guilty on both counts, and has an outstanding warrant for also taking George Soros' money.

Graham just does as he's told.

My lay take is that he brought some incisive money strategy to the critical races to good effect.

As things fleshed out thereafter he appeared to me to be a GOP donor-oriented status quo guy fighting the last war.

When he turned blade edge toward Sarah he lost all credulity with me.

[Mom MD]

Thats the same thing I yelled at the television. Idiot doesn’t even know what form of government he allegedly presides over.....

[UCANSEE2]

By what authority does Obama postpone a vote in the Legislature?

[Seattle Conservative]

ROFLOL!! Funniest thing I’ve heard in a week or more. Good one!

[pollywog]

Well said, Allen West!! Well said!!

[Cvengr]

Why do they doubt Putin, but trust Obama?

[Ezekiel]

Me too but I wasn't planning to watch and I don't have cable anyway, but here's something kind of weird...

When I remembered about this thread (about an hour ago), I clicked in to see if there was anything interesting going on.

I had a Bible (Tanakh) program open (full screen). My browser doesn't open in a full screen, so the window covered most but not all of the Bible program. So, there was one small portion of text visible - one line directly below the window of this thread. It read exactly like this:

8. And I heard, but I did not understand; then I said, O

??!

That was from Daniel 12. As if to say:

And I heard, but I did not understand; then I said,

8. And I heard, but I did not understand; then I said, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things:
9. And he said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end:

Maybe I should have been playing that drinking game instead. :-/
